I present an interim report of the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee on aspects of road safety in Australia, together with the Hansard record of proceedings and documents presented to the committee.

Ordered that the report be printed.

I move:

That the Senate take note of the report.

I seek leave to continue my remarks.

Leave granted; debate adjourned.

I present the interim report of the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee on the Perth Freight Link, together with the Hansard record of proceedings and documents presented to the committee.

That the Senate take note of the report.

The committee held a couple of hearings in Perth that were well attended by Labor and the Greens. The government came to one and could not be bothered coming to the second. We believe that the Commonwealth should withdraw its support for this failed project. It is an absolute cluster. The government was invited to attend to explain their position to the people of Western Australia. They refused to attend. They would not come. What do they have to hide? On that, I could go on for hours and hours, but I am mindful of my colleagues who worked just as hard on the committee who want to speak on this.
